There’s no question Penguins POHO/GM Kyle Dubas is an intelligent guy. Heck, he even looks the part with his horn-rimmed glasses. I’ve heard him described on numerous occasions as the smartest guy in the room.
Anyone who could’ve pulled off the Erik Karlsson blockbuster with all its moving parts, never mind the disappointing aftermath, has to possess at least a touch of genius.
However, as the old saying goes, you can be too smart for your own good. Was that the case for Dubas at the recent NHL Entry Draft, when he pulled a shocker by selecting Calgary Hitman forward Benjamin Kindel 11th overall?
